What the federal record says

Wainwright Transfer Co of Fayetteville INC holds USDOT number 962621 and operating authority MC-210625. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Fayetteville, Cumberland County, North Carolina. Its household goods authority is on file as common carrier of household goods, which is the grant that allows a company to move a household across a state line for money. The USDOT record was created on 18 June 2001, 25 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 5 January 2026.

Wainwright Transfer Co of Fayetteville INC reports 3 power units and 2 drivers, 0.7 drivers per truck. At that size a long haul booking usually means one crew and one truck for the whole trip, so dates are tight and a delay at the origin runs through the whole schedule. The equipment itemized on the form is 2 trucks, 1 tractor, 5 trailers. The company reported 1,000 miles for 2025, which works out at roughly 333 miles per power unit. That places it 124th by fleet size among the 255 registered household goods carriers based in North Carolina.

Besides household goods the census lists 1 other cargo classification: general freight. A carrier with a broad cargo list is running household moves alongside other freight, which can mean better rates on a backhaul and less predictable scheduling. The registered address falls in the Fayetteville, NC metropolitan area, where 22 other registered household goods carriers are based. FMCSA has assigned this carrier a satisfactory safety rating, dated 9 August 2006.

The nearest other registered household goods carriers are Piedmont Van and Storage Co in Fayetteville (same ZIP code area), All American Moving & Storage of Fayetteville INC in Fayetteville (same ZIP code area), Green Leaf Associates INC in Hopemills (same ZIP code area).

Where this data comes from

Every company on these pages is registered with FMCSA. Registration is a filing requirement, not an endorsement, a licence to a standard, an approval, or a quality check by FMCSA or by this site. Fleet counts, driver counts and mileage are self reported by the carrier on form MCS-150 and are only as current as its last filing. Figures are reproduced as the federal files recorded them on the snapshot dates above and may have changed since.
